Headway Compression during Queue Discharge at Signalized Intersections under Mixed Traffic Condition
Abstract: The evaluation of capacity at signalized intersection is an important component in the planning, design, operation and management of transportation system. Presently, the methodologies available for the estimation of capacity of signalized intersections are based on the concept of saturation flow(s). Saturation flow is the steady maximum queue discharge rate after the green onset. According to the U.S. Highway Capacity Manual, this steady maximum rate is generally achieved after the …

Evaluation of Impacts of Dispatch Headway Variability in Bus Transit Systems in a Simulated Route
Abstract: This paper presents reliability analysis of bus transit systems based on numerical simulation of the range of headway variations in a bus route consists of multiple stops. Variation of performance in bus operation due to the variation of departure headways is determined through number of simulations. Operational performance is measured by the average waiting time of passengers at stops. Simulation results show that average waiting time as well as spread …

A Precise Clock Synchronization Algorithm in Network
Abstract: To execute a task in a synchronized manner in a distributed setting, we need the common idea of time. To accomplish this intention, clock synchronization is conceptualized. Clock drifting is an intrinsic property of a clock, which necessitates the synchronization. A network consists of nodes, which may execute appropriately or behave badly. The mischievous node may pose difficulty in clock synchronization. We require a method to ease the effect of …

Block SLM Scheme for Efficient PAPR Reduction in OFDM Systems
Abstract: AbstractOrthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is an attractive technique due to its high-speed data transmission and robustness for time-selective channels. However, the major drawback of OFDM system is high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). In this paper, two PAPR reduction schemes have been introduced; one is conventional selected mapping (SLM) scheme and a new proposed block selected mapping (BSLM) scheme to obtain PAPR reduction performance in OFDM system. In the proposed …

Investigations on PAPR Reduction using PTS Technique for OFDM Communication Systems
Abstract: AbstractOrthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a spectral efficient technique for high data rate communication systems. It also provides robustness to multipath frequency selective fading but suffers from high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and causes high power amplifiers to operate in the nonlinear region. In this paper partial transmit sequence (PTS) as PAPR reduction technique has been investigated. Mathematical modelling and Matlab simulation have been carried out to analyse its …

PAPR Reduction using Selective Mapping Method for OFDM Communication Systems
Abstract: AbstractSelective mapping method (SLM) is one of the most important techniques used for peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication system. It is simple in implementation, gives distortionless transmission and reduces PAPR significantly. Mathematical modelling and Matlab simulation have been carried out to analyse its performances. At of CCDF, PAPR values for OFDM signal without applying any reduction technique is 11.5, 11.8, 12.1, 12.4 and …
